GRAss is not to be let grow under
the official feet in the matter Of setting
up the Soldiers Home. Captain
Banding is expected here to-day, and
the understanding is that in very
short time work will begin on the
edifice near Santa Monica. The
amount appropriated is $4,000.
Then there is to be $4,000 per
annum furnished by q local
contribution for the purpose Of
adjoining the grounds. The ample
six hundred acres are to be laid out
in the highest style of landscape
gardening. All this is as it should be.
The idea of having Soldiers Home
in this State is in order that the battle
Scared veterans now bending low
be meath the burden of years and in
firmities begotten of exposure in the
field, may enjoy the benefits of our glo-
rious climate. After looking the State
over the committee wisely decided
that here near Los Angeles was the
place where this would be best accom-
plished. The climate is the main
point. The warriors are growing old.
Every year is a long time in their
case. They cannot wait for years as
younger people can. Let the Home
therefore be appraised on the sunny
slope by the warm waves of Pacific
seas, and bring the heroes along to
recline in the winter sunshine like the
Lotus eaters of the poet.

We HAVE hooked on to Webfoot

trains between Los Angeles and Port

ule time. The achievement is indeed
. great one. Not less than 1900 miles
OF rail- The writer has ridden oyer
entire distance in the old Concord
sta ges Of " auld lang syne,' and then
has gone on to Victoria by stage and
boat. 1t was a great undertaking to
span the coast with steel rails. The

the Grand Canon south Of Rose
burg in the State OF Oregon was Ty-
tanic in its nature. From New Orleans
1t the mouth of the Mississippi to
Portland on Wallamet, is three
thou sand. three hundred and thirty
nix miles. One continuous line OF
road reaches the entire distance. The
system embraces branches which in
GREASE the mileage to round five
tho usand miles of railroad under one
management. This means much
very much to us. Seven years
ago this place was shut out from the
rest Of the world. We now have
direct communication by rail with the
entire South and Middle-East
via the "Sunset" Route; with
tho whole interior of the coun-
try via the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe system; with the CEN
trail territories and Western States
via the Central and Union Paci6cs;
and with the far Northwest even to
Alaska, and with the extreme north

this new road to Oregon and thence
via the Northern Pacific. The Cana

WE FEEL constrained to apologize to
our readers for a somewhat ctlrtailed
amount of news this morning. 1t is
not because we are leaving out any OF
the current happenings OF the day
here or elsewhere, but these must be
presented in a more concise style than
is our wont. An unduly long letter
list, and a crowding plethora Of bust
ness announcements pressed upon us
through the unremitting kindness
of the public are our excuse.
Readers OF the HERALD, we
know, will feel disposed to
pass our imperfections by for once, in
view of the tar superior amount OF
reading matter laid before them as q
regular t, ing. Our achievement Of
yesterday morning was particularly
noticeable in its quantity and quality.
In both elements OF a good paper,
no journal in the State outside Of San
Francisco will bear comparison with
this. The same is true OF at least
three hundred and sixty days out OF
the year.

: r1itory may challenge the GLOBE
Z, furnish better land for beet.
Mr.. Spreckels is thoroughly in earnest
about this matter. Proper presenta-
ton Of the question would secure his
attention to our section. Los Angeles
should have refinery. There should
be half dozen factories scattered
through tho county to extract the
syrup for this central refinery. But
while we should have all these, the
question is ehall we have any OF
them? We shall not unless We do
something to secure them.

THE ISLE OF MAN,
Some Very Ancient Laws Enacted by the
Tynwald Court.

The Manx laws retain many of their an
cient peculiarities. The general tenure of
land is the customary freehold. Its descent
follows the same rules as that of the English
crown. The right of primogeniture extends
to females in default of males in the direct
line Liberal provision is made for widows.
By statute of the year 777landed proprietors
cannot grant leases for more than twenty
one years without consent of the wife.
Womanly honor is jealously protected. In
case ofits violation the law is, or was, that
the Deemster shall give her. "a single
woman) "a rope, a sword and ring" and
that she ''then shall have her choice to hang
him with the rope, cut off his head with the
sword, or marry him with the ring. The
annals of this unique specimen of criminal
Jurisprudence do not specify the number of
times this alternative choice has been exer-
cised, or with what results.
Tynwald Day is a general insular festival.
Cronk-y-Keillown, j. e., St. Johns Church
Hill, or the Tynwald Hill, is about 200 yards
from St. Johns Church, near the centre of
the island. and on the highroad between
Douglas and Peel Around it the Manx peo-
reading of the laws enacted by the Tynwald
Court throughout the previous year. It is
said to be formed Of earth brought from the
seventeen parishes is 256 feet in circumfer-
ence, and rises by four concentric cir
c1llar platforms, each three feet higher than
that below, to the level on which the dig
njtaries stand, while the First Deemster (suc-
cessor to Druid priest and to the following
officials. who. until the fifteenth century,
iudced according to the unwritten breast
laws" of which they were the depositories)
reads in English and then in Manx the titles
and side notes Of all the recent statutes.
Newspapers give the details and relieve the
reader Of what once was necessary labor
seventeen ropes hold taut the canvas shelter
from sun and rain, and are fastened to as
many rings let into stones at the base OF this
primitive CONSTRUCTION.
Rishop Wilson held this mount to have
been the forum judiciale, or hall of justice
Cumming and saher antiquarians regard the
name Tynwad,s written Tingualla in the
l'hroa,coaa Ma,saie, as indeutical with the
Th1ngw;ll of Iceland and the Thingvollr of
Denmark, and assderived from the Scandi-
nay;an thing a coart of justice or assembly
